🇦🇺 Perth, Australia
Perth is a major city of Australia. Real-Earth coordinates -31.953°, 115.838°, population 1,532,000. A river or a coast to follow, tall enough buildings to make a proximity line interesting, and open airspace once you clear the centre. Skydex flies the real Earth here — the elevation, coastline and city layout under the aircraft come from the same data the map does, and the sky is shared with everyone else flying it.
